Becky and Zeke: Zeke is a four year old Yellow Lab, who is
just the best boy a girl could have. He is a 90 pound snuggler and we just had to adopt
him. Zeke was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy at one year of age. We adopted him at age
two. He came to us quite ill and very mal nourished. He needed a better home. We quickly
got him into good health and he has been doing very well. He has very infrequent grand
mal seizures and focal motor seizures several times per month. It is very true that an
Epi dog grabs your heart and hold on tight. I don't remember what life was like before
Zeke...he means everything to us and we try to do right by him.

He was recently diagnosed with
Diabetes Mellitus and we are currently doing more research now for the diet of a diabetic
with epilepsy. It is funny how things change.

Beverly and Grasshopper: I adopted Grasshopper, a Rat Terrier, in
May '96 after his new owners decided they couldn't care for a tiny four month old
puppy. Just after his 2nd birthday, he began having seizures which progressed into
clusters. For about 6 months he was moderately controlled with Phenobarbital alone
but seizures started
coming more frequently.

On Nov. 1, 1999, we added Potassium Bromide. So far, it has been great. Last
seizure was
Oct. 31, '99. At 10 lbs, Grasshopper is my little sweetie!
